Anastasia broke her arm
Included Ukrainian national team on Billie Jean King Cup there will be changes again.
Will not play for the Ukrainian national team in the match against Austria in the playoffs of the event Anastasia Lopata. Let us note that it was she who replaced Marta Kostyuk, who will miss the tournament for personal reasons.
The reason for missing out is Anastasia’s broken arm, which she received the day before the start of preparations for the Cup. Who will replace Shovel has not yet been announced.
“Nastya played well in several American ITF tournaments, she even won the last one. I beat some good opponents. I have seen several of her matches and I can say that her level of play is quite high.”
“Of course we were counting on her, I’m sure the Austrians certainly didn’t expect her to appear here. But, unfortunately, the circumstances are such that she was injured and it will not be possible to surprise her opponents. Literally the day before the start of preparations, Anastasia broke her arm and, unfortunately, will not play. However, she took the initiative and wanted to join the team, to be here, to support, to help with anything.”
“We are very happy about this, because if a person is so eager to get into the national team, then these are the kind of players we need,” said team captain Ilya Marchenko.
It is known that Lesya Tsurenko, Katarina Zavatskaya, Anastasia Soboleva and Nadezhda Kichenok will play for the blue-yellows. The captain of the Ukrainian team is Ilya Marchenko.
The matches will take place on the hard surface of The Courts in McKinney, Texas, USA. The confrontation between Ukraine and Austria will take place on November 16 and 17. The winner of this meeting will qualify to compete in the 2025 World Finals qualification.
